I would like that text like this "Created dir: C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel MD\SpitDeployer\" was automaticlly open a Explorer window, instead of just text make it a hyperlink.
I don't think we'll do it this way. There is a possibility to add your directory to favorites window, but it isn't posssible do it directly from the output window.
not really output module issue, OW is just a processor for other modules. it's up to Ant module I suppose to add this feature. OW doesn't do any text analysis and it shouldn't. reassigning
Don't plan to do this. The UI problems and possible implementation effort outweigh the likely benefits. 1. It is a UI (and A11Y) guideline never to create a non-document-mode window that is not a singleton with an accessor in the Window menu. So the link would need to open one of a. some existing window, e.g. Favorites b. an Explorer tree in the documents area, which would look rather strange c. a dialog, even stranger 2. Re. use of Favorites, would only work if you already had (some ancestor of) this dir added to the tab. Unless the hyperlink prompted you to add it... sort of odd. Suggest just keeping your favorite dirs in Favorites to look at, or using the Files tab if the dir is part of a project's build. Note: it is possible to write this class of functionality for yourself by creating a module which registers an AntLogger impl. So it is easy to prototype enhancements. You can't e.g. manipulate the Favorites tab from another module, however.
